An Illustration Trip for the Botanically Curious! / London meet-up

Join your fellow illustrators for a special visit to Chelsea Physic Garden, London’s oldest botanic garden, nestled in the heart of the city. Established in 1673, this historic garden is a true hidden treasure.

With its extraordinary collection of plants, Chelsea Physic Garden is a glorious place to spend a few peaceful hours sketching flowers, trees, and fascinating botanical specimens.

You’ll encounter:

🌱 Plants that heal

🌾 Plants used for food

🌍 Plants that have changed the world through their usefulness

Wander along leafy corridors and explore beautiful glasshouses filled with tropical plants, delicate ferns, and vibrant pelargoniums. And of course, there’s a cosy café on hand for refreshments and a well-earned break.

We look forward to a day of drawing, discovery, and botanical inspiration!

Meeting Point: Meet your hosts Wendy and Andy at the front entrance to the garden on Royal Hospital Road.
